Background: Painful soft tissue lesions in the adult shoulder, specifically associated with rotator cuff syndrome, pose diagnostic challenges for clinicians. Ultrasonography has emerged as a promising imaging modality for diagnosing and characterizing these lesions. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between ultrasonography findings and painful soft tissue lesions in adult shoulders, with a specific focus on rotator cuff syndrome. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of adult patients presenting with shoulder pain and suspected rotator cuff syndrome. The study included 100 patients who underwent ultrasonography examination followed by clinical evaluation. The ultrasonography findings were subsequently compared with the final diagnosis determined through clinical assessment. Results: The results of the study indicate a robust association between ultrasonography findings and the presence of painful soft tissue lesions in the shoulder. The sensitivity of ultrasonography in detecting these lesions was determined to be 85%, meaning that it correctly identified the majority of true positive cases. Additionally, the specificity of ultrasonography was found to be 92%, indicating its ability to accurately exclude the presence of lesions in true negative cases. These findings underscore the diagnostic accuracy and reliability of ultrasonography in the identification and characterization of painful soft tissue lesions associated with rotator cuff syndrome. Conclusion: Ultrasonography is a valuable imaging modality for diagnosing and assessing painful soft tissue lesions in adult shoulders, particularly in cases of suspected rotator cuff syndrome. Its high diagnostic accuracy, non-invasiveness, and cost-effectiveness make it a practical tool for clinicians in the initial evaluation and management of shoulder pain. The results of this study contribute to improving diagnostic precision and guiding appropriate treatment strategies for patients with rotator cuff syndrome. Further research is warranted to validate these findings and explore the potential of ultrasonography in longitudinal monitoring and follow-up of these lesions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
